The production 351w block is stronger than a 302 block so it's actually a much better basis for a stroker. Do a web search for 351 stroker kits.. they're available in sizes up to 427 cu in and bigger with a racing block.

302's...

...NOTHIN' wrong with strokin' a 302...they are lighter and overall
dimentions are smaller enabling fitment in to a wider aray of engine
compartments...

So don't downplay the "little brother" motor too fast...

A 331 or a 347 stroker is still capable of 500+ streetable ponies...

Lightweight stroker crank & rods...forged pistons......

Good set of heads...you get the idea...

Just my $0.02

You could get a dart block with a 4.125 bore for a 302 then stroke it to a 363.

I would recommend speaking with Hank the Crank (HTC) in SoCal. Tehy have been building strokers since the 50's and have forgotten more than most will ever know!
